He is finally home and safely in his new home! I can’t see any sing of the damage. Kyrin has my vote for any repair work in the future, I just hope I don’t need to have you do anything again. 😉
I am so glad he made it safely home. And I too hope you don’t need my services again, but you know where to find me if you should.

Happy Birthday and congrats on all the goodies! Keep your drink a virgin lady!
But by all means have fun! SLO Brewery is a great place to go if you are going to SLO for your drink.

Anyone else notice this person is offering to ship it Media Mail? I wrote him/her a note about it.
If they still send it Media and try to insure it, then if anything does happen to it, the post may not honor the insurance, not to mention that they themselves will have to pay actual shipping and have all future Media Mail opened and inspected to make sure what is in the box is actually media. After that, then they will start getting fined for it.
I also mentioned that marking “FRAGILE” on Media mail will tip them off. I suggested FedEX, for $14 you get it shipped and that includes insurance and tracking. Much cheaper than the post office.
Hope they take the advice for the sake of the buyer.

Sold to me…to quote Daffy Duck “Mine, mine, mine!” *grin* There is a nice one on eBay right now, and I think its price is currently lower than I am paying for this one, if that helps any. I think it ends really soon though.

It seems several people don’t like the anthropomorphic wolf. Why is that? I’m curious. 🙂
I have no idea, I like her, but then I’m an anthro artist, course I would. I also know about 1500 other anthro folk who would love her. She has a place in the market, she really does, just maybe not in the regular Windstone dragon collecting crowd is all.

Go for it. I am enjoying fixing things, it really doesn’t take me very long, and it is so fun to jigsaw all the little bits together again and then restore to original. Just very satisfying for some reason.

I like this series, I wanted the one you did before this one pretty bad, but I just didn’t have the money.
Keep it up, one of these days I can get one.

Greater Basilisk wrote:Nice work, Kyrin! Do you keep your techniques a secret, or would you mind telling me how you matched the paint in repairing the gargoyles? I’ll have to touch up some of mine when I get home.
Basically you need to try to match the color underneath the antiquing. It’s kinda a grayish ivory color, then antique over it with a brown-black color. Color matching the gargoyles is probably one of the hardest ones, because they did it in 2 layers.

Wow, he does sound like a spoiled brat over this, doesn’t he?
Well I can tell you that a child will not spoil your dreams of horse and home owning. 4 months after our second child was born, we bought a house, and not a dinky house either, an 1826 sq ft house on 5 acres. And no, our credit isn’t spectacular.
Horses are next, once we get fencing in to keep them where we want them. So his idea that a child will affect your dreams is a fallacy. He sounds like he’s scared, so he is trying to avoid this situation, but the reality is, he only has a short amount of time to act like this before the baby is here.
He’ll come around, meanwhile ignore his behavior as best you can, go ahead and give him the illusion that there is no baby for now, soon enough you will start to show and he will have to come to grips with it. Do make him go to doctor visits with you though, especially when you are at the point where the heartbeat can be heard.
Once he starts behaving like a human being and not a spoiled brat, point out that you didn’t make this baby alone, and that this child is a symbol of your love together, and while he may be scared to death of fatherhood, he needs to grow up soon, he has x months to do so. So he can be childish and selfish for a little while longer if he really feels he needs to, but once that child is here, he better have gotten it out of his system.
I would also tell him that if he has nothing positive to say regarding your future child together, then he keep his big mouth shut. Say nothing at all if he can’t say anything positive. You don’t need to hear it. You may also want to suggest to him that he make up a pro and con about having a baby on paper, and that he can write down all his fears about father hood out as well, but you don’t want to hear anything out of him verbally. Anytime he starts to whine or complain on this subject, tell him to write it down.
Keep everything he has written about this, and when the baby is here and he has fallen in love with his child, hand them to him and have him read them. I think it will really help him later to see how he was behaving, I do recommend destroying those papers after he has reread what he wrote though, your child never needs to know his/her father didn’t want them at first.
My husband’s father never hid the fact he never wanted him initially and it has scarred him. He has spent his whole life doing everything he can to please his father, and even when he is in the right, he will not defy or argue with the man, for fear of rejection. It’s not a happy thing, his father was a good father, but just knowing he wasn’t wanted hurt him alot.
You can tell your husband about that too, that he’d better never ever tell your child he didn’t want them, it will do emotional damage.
Anyway, sorry this is an epic. Hang in there, he’ll grow up soon, he has to.
I also suggest counseling if you can get him to go.
*hugs*

I’m bummed you have to sell your collection, and I hope you don’t go away too long.
Your white male is going to get a new face though, so drop in to see pics when he’s done.

You do wonderful work. 🙂 Such skill! Great job.
Obliterated seemed like a good descriptive word. 🙂
Thanks.

Here is Laphon’s green mama, this girl is so old, she doesn’t have felt, just a stamp on her base.She had some chips on her tail and a chip on one of her crest scales. Overall considering her age there wasn’t a lot wrong with her. Mostly just the little chips and that fact that she was very dirty.
Hope you like her Laphon! She’s lovely, and I didn’t think I liked the greens all that much, but this lady changed my mind.
